I’ve lost better poems than this
Boxes crammed
Notebooks full
Abandoned under rapid retreat
Poems
Lines
Scribbled on a Del taco napkin
On the back of the phone bill
Thrown away with the trash

Once in a while one returns to me
Flash of insight like
When walking or
Mowing the lawn
Sometimes I remember them vaguely
A title
A clever phrase
Other times nothing
Not even enough to
Miss what I’ve forgotten
Only the knowledge that
I have indeed
Lost better poems than this
